Joan Smalls In Spicy Red Lingerie For VSFS Is 'Doing Too Much'

Joan Smalls turned heads with her spicy red look for the Victoria's Secret fashion show. Although the look prompted a myriad of compliments and praises, there were a few critics who disagreed, with one stating she was "doing too much."

Joan Smalls shared the exciting moment with her Instagram followers, using the opportunity to declare her Latino origin in the captions.

The 6-slide Instagram post opened with a short video of Smalls confidently strutting down the Victoria's Secret runway, a fierce look on her face as she struck a pose.

The next slide was a picture of her, legs angled to show off her stunning figure. The post also featured a candid image of Joan Smalls doing her makeup and some stunning pictures of her in the changing room.

Smalls looked flawless in every slide, her gorgeous face and enviable figure leaving fans in awe.

Smalls' red satin outfit consisted of a bra and tiny shorts.

The bra featured structured push-up cups that enhanced her shape and embellished straps that shimmered under the runway lights.

Her bottoms were a pair of high-cut satin shorts with a smooth, body-hugging fit that elongated her legs and accentuated her toned figure. It also has subtle red crystal details in its waistband. The fabric's satin sheen gave the underwear set a bold, glamorous vibe as it caught the light with every movement.

She further elevated the look with a dramatic red feather attachment, which she threw over her arms like a stole. The glossy red feathers created a sense of motion as she walked, adding to the fiery aura of her outfit.

She finished the look off with red strappy heels, leaving her hair down to blow in the soft breeze.

The post quickly racked up 89,609 likes and 1,300 comments along with several reshares.

Many admirers flooded the comment section with heart and fire emojis, expressing their love for the model. Others took it a step further, clearly expressing their admiration in the comments.

"GODDESS!! GOODDEESSS!! GODDDDDDEEEESSS!! GOOOOODDDEEESSSS!!!" Commented a stunned fan. "Woow, the best," commented another. "The queen is back on the runway," celebrated a third.

Although the majority of the comments were compliments, there were a few critics who aired their views.

One, criticizing her facial expression, typed, "Joan, don't be so pouting. You need to smile. Most Victoria's Secret angels are smiling at the end, don't be so forced." Another critic who seemed to share a similar train of thought typed, "She is trying too much."

These comments got no reaction from the model or her fans; instead, they disappeared into the sea of compliments.

Joan Smalls stunned in another look during the fashion show, this time a metallic gold ensemble that screamed royalty. The ensemble was in two parts.

The first part was a nude-toned underwear set with a structured bra and thong panties, while the second was a multilayered fringe dress that she wore over the underwear. The metallic gold dress draped down her body in the most glamorous way, creating a shimmering liquid gold effect as she moved.

Her wings, a rich, warm copper color, arched dramatically behind her, adding a regal twist.

Joan Smalls rocked a gorgeous black and silver gown to the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Its bodice was solid black, featuring a plunging strapless neckline that showed off her bust and collarbone.

Its skirt was a brilliant silver metallic fabric that draped over her silhouette and featured a ruched effect at the waist. The model kept jewelry minimal, choosing instead to sleek back her hair and accessorize with simple matching earrings.
